Abstract
We report a case of cryptococcal chorioretinitis discovered at ophthal mological examination of a 68-year-old woman with acquired immune defi ciency syndrome. This localization revealed cryptococcal septicemia, w ithout involvement of the central nervous system unlike most cases rep orted. Therapy with fluconazole (400 mg per day) led to gradual regres sion of the chorioretinal lesion.
